Wentawo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wanthoa [Wanthɔa̱r] is one of the woredas in the Gambela Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Nuer Zone, Wanthoa is bordered on the south by Akobo, on the west and north by South Sudan, on the east by Jikaw, and on the southeast by Anuak Zone; the Akobo River to the west and the Baro River on the north define Wanthoa's boundaries with South Sudan. Towns in this woreda include Matar.
The terrain in Wanthoa is predominantly swampy, with few distinguishing high points; elevations range around 410 meters above sea level. Rivers include the Makuey.
Between 2001 and 2007, the northern kebeles were split from Akobo woreda to create Wanthoa.[1]
